Google Docs comes to iPhone & iPad

This should help some iOS using ZAs, huh?

Google Docs just launched an app that’ll bring some awesomeness to Apple devices.

Definitely some good news for us and our doc/spreadsheet platform is now integrated across more devices! Woohoo!

Yesterday we had a great conversation about the feasibility of robot teachers and how far that might stretch. Awesome, Zeople, truly awesome!

Today’s post isn’t really related but it asks the same question, “how do we feel about new technologies in old spaces?”

This one’s about a “netflix for books”

Interesting article here on how our lives interact with social media.

A lot of writers have written about us not “living” by being so consumed with taking videos/pictures etc…during great moments.

This journalist begs to differ: http://www.slate.com/articles/technology/technology/2013/12/twitter_facebook_instagram_it_s_possible_to_use_social_media_mindfully.html

What do you think Zeople?

3D printing is an exciting new technology that has gotten some major headlines lately.

I thought this article was really interesting in terms of what the (not so far) future could hold for 3D printing and when we might see it integrated into everyday life.

Great Wired article from today on Open Garden and the possibility of an “always-network”. Connections made from tablets, phones, Glass or any other mobile device could be tethered and provide all those around wtih a constant connection.

Thought the article’s title is a bit deceiving (it;s not really about the LHC, but rather about how the early technology of clearing up that data will hep with this), still a great read.
